Door leaf width not showing correctly in 3D

pcrossington — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 19:49:48 GMT

I have created a custom door slab, using slabs to create it. It appears correctly in plan, but in 3d, the door panel is not as wide as the door opening. The door is supposed to be 6'x8', but it only shows as 5'-3" wide.

Your help is appreciated!

you likely have a 2d something selected when you saved the door (maybe a line or hotspot). It's actually a cool trick when you want to undersize a custom door leaf for an overhead gap or under door clearance.

OMG - that's exactly it! How the H did you figure that one out?

You're right - it's a great hack for those really custom situations.

Thanks so much!
